(i`m A) Ramblin` Man Lyrics

I've been down the Mississippi,

 Down through New Orleans, 

 Yes, I have.

 I've played in California,

 There ain't too much I haven't seen.

 No, there ain't. 

 Well, I'm a ramblin' man,

 Don't fool around with a ramblin' man. 

 Left a girl in West Virginia,

 Up there where that green grass grows,

 Yes, I did. 

 Another girl in Cincinnati,

 Waitin' where the Ohio River flows,

 Poor girl!

 I'm a ramblin' man, 

 Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.

 

 You'd better move away,

 You're standin' too close to the flame.

 Once I mess with your mind,

 Your little heart won't beat the same.

 Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, 

 Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.

 Better not!

 

 Well, up in Chicago,

 I was known as "Quiet Boy,"

 Yes, I was! 

 Down in Alabama, 

 They call me "The man of joy,"

 Still do!

 Well, I'm a ramblin' man,

 Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man.

 

 You'd better move away,

 You're standin' too close to the flame.

 Once I mess with your mind,

 Your little heart won't beat the same.

 Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, 

 Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.
